Is the plastic used in coolers good for gas, especially gas with ethanol? Some plastic will start to dissolve...

I am getting a kick out of the people runnin out of gas while waiting in line to get gas. You might could maybe shut off the engine instead of sitting there burning gas for an hour or two. Also wondering how many people are driving fuel inefficient enough vehicles to almost burn as much getting to and from the distant station as they were allowed to buy.

Maybe the influence of midwesterns who will leave the car running (and unlocked!) while they get out to have a 20 minute conversation at the local convenience store?

i probably shouldn't say it but we have plenty of gas in danbury and no lines. these fools stick to the 95 corridor instead. a lot of these folks are going south then east to get to greenwich/stam/norwalk when they could simply go east and a little north to hit danbury.

Sherman Potter:I feel bad for these folks, but if only there were something they could have done before the storm...

/you know, because it was on the TV for 10 days prior to hitting the coast.

I guess you didn't read the other thread... apparently their "lifestyle" does not involve mundane things like preparations. If there was a way to make the vehicles run with wine from Trader Joe's, there would not be a problem right now...
